NASA announces Artemis III moon crew

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (WINK)—NASA has announced which four crew members will board Artemis 3 at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

In April, WINK News brought viewers live team coverage of NASA's historic Artemis 2 mission. Four astronauts spent about 10 days in space, flying around the moon's dark side and splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.

In June, Artemis 3's boosters arrived at the Kennedy Space Center from Utah by train. Later this summer, crews are set to stack them one atop the other to build the massive rocket.
